Lunch and Sightseeing in the City
Since I landed at Teterboro around 2:30pm, I only had 3 hours before my Blade helicopter flight to Newark and my 8pm United flight back to Denver. Fortunately, there wasn’t much traffic along the way and thru the Lincoln Tunnel to the new Hudson Yards complex at West 33rd and 10th.
Hudson Yards complex at W. 33rd and 10th Avenue.
Lunch today is at Estiatorio Milos, the newest outpost of Costas Spiliadis who opened his first Milos more than 40 years ago in Montreal. Excellent service and a delicious and reasonable $45 prix fixe lunch.
And then up to the 101st floor via the secret PEAK elevator... one of the coolest elevator that I have ever ridden. Really fast and smooth for the 100 floor climb. But the best part was the amazing HD video walls that showed wonderful videos of the New York skyline and neighborhood scenes with music. Simply awesome.
The 101st floor and PEAK, a wonderful bar and restaurant with amazing views of New York. And access to the outdoor viewing terrace and platform on the 100th floor. Great views on a perfect 80 degree afternoon.
One of the PEAK's signature cocktails...
Yikes...
Fortunately, the City Climb was fully booked today. LOL.
A great view of the W. 30the Street heliport where my Blade helicopter departs in about 30 minutes.
